Bleak, grim, gritty underworld organized-crime/drama set in the Turkish community of Berlin.
The setup seems contrived, with compromised police officers introduced from the outset, and political correctness drives part of the plot for forcing two main characters to work together.
There are hardly any sympathetic characters at least initially, all are damaged or flawed, and the whole thing gives an image of a decaying amoral broken society that will shock many.
It's hard to care about the characters. It's less enjoyable than the "4 Blocks" series , even though there are some obvious overlaps in ghetto settings, cokeheads, crime families and rap culture.
It's relentlessly dark and gloomy. The colour palette seems muted, the dialogue sometimes cartoonish. It might not encourage tourism to Berlin. Though it might increase votes for AfD.
